A Swiss Success Story. With European Dimensions.

2018 – today

Innovation and quality will continue to be at the centre of the company’s strategy
In the recent past, several innovative developments have been registered for patents
More developments are already in the pipeline in order to secure the future and to further strengthen our market position
Independence and autonomy will continue to be the foundation of our success in the future

2016 – 2017

For the fifth time under the slogan – Swiss Quality for High Performance – we presented our entire range of services and product portfolio at the IFAT trade fair in Munich from 30 May to 3 June 2016
40 years of Mokesa – 40 years of innovative thinking and action are behind us. This was duly celebrated with our loyal customers, treasured friends, strong partners, reliable suppliers and staff, during an extraordinary evening of breathtaking entertainment and selected culinary delicacies at the Palazzo Colombino!

2014 – 2015

Announcement of three new patent applications for developments in the refractory sector. The new, third generation of Mokesys^®products is born!
The Mokesys^®product family can now be divided into three sections: back-cast, rear-ventilated and back-filled
For each of these sectors, Mokesa AG develops a new product and applies for international patents
Mokesys^® Standard Plus (back-cast) – the Plus stands for the continuing development of the proven Mokesys^®standard system
Mokesys^® Air UHS (rear-ventilated) – diverging from the existing Mokesys^® Air 2E, which is used in the boiler’s first pass; the new Mokesys^® Air UHS offers permanent protection for superheater bulkheads in the second pass
Mokesys^®Granulate (back-filled) – the scope for use of the Mokesys^®tube wall protection system is increased by this innovative idea: the back-filling with refractory granulates

2010 – 2011

2008 – 2009

Launch of the rear-ventilated tiling system Mokesys^® Air 2E and application for international patent
First installation of Mokesys^® Air 2E in Switzerland. Subsequently also in Great Britain, Finland and Germany

2007

A magical figure: 10’000 m² Mokesys^®tiles sold in one single year
Product diversification into Standard / Lite / Ancor
ISO Certification of Mokesa AG and Mokesys AG
There being no sense in resting on our laurels, research and development are intensified

2000

For all new plants, an operating time of more than 16,000 hours (two service years), without failure, is achieved! During the following seven years, Mokesys^®installations follow in more than 130 boilers in all of Europe

1997 – 1998

As the then available conventional refractory materials were causing lost time and warranty issues in EfW plants, Andreas Kern decides simply to develop his own and better, refractory tiling solution
Shortly after, an international patent application for the Mokesys^® tiling system follows and first installations are made
At the same time, the company Mokesys^® AG is founded in order to hold and administer the patents and rights. Enquiries from Switzerland and from all of Europe are on the increase. The internationalisation of the company is in full swing

1982 – 1996

1977

Mokesa AG was founded
Strong presence in conventional refractories installation and especially in the construction of tall chimneys
